Cat vomitting blood
Hi, everyone..
My cat has been vomitting blood the last two days... I took him to the vet..She just told me to give him glucose...because she was not eating... I think it's more serious than that. He was given Ibubrofen 3...more than the normal dosage for cats...please advice. Thanks, -- Message posted via http://www.catkb.com |

My cat only vomited a little blood. I got him in right away and a GI series
showed a large (LARGE) amount of hair in his stomach. After trying for a week to get it to pass with laxatone (some did) we decided she should just go in and get it. Turns out he had *advanced* lymphoma of the stomach. NO symptoms until he started vomiting. I cannot BELIEVE this vet just offered some damn glucose. Makes me angry. I hope the OP has called another vet by now. "Barb" wrote in message o.verio.net... My cat was vomiting blood. The vet did a whole work up, x-rays, examination and eventually an ultra sound plus changing her medication for hyperthyroid to a different brand. Must have been the medication because she was fine a day later. Vomiting blood can be an ominous sign, more than just a shot of glucose. -- Barb Of course I don't look busy, I did it right the first time. |

Ibuprofin is just as damaging to the stomach lining as aspirin is. You need a new vet. I hope you've gotten to one by now. If you haven't, just have a look at your cats gums and tongue, and see if they are gray. If there is no pink, there is anemia and too much blood loss. -- Cheryl |

Follow this closely: Vomiting blood after ingesting ibuprofen (or any NSAID) is sign of gastric ulceration or possibly perforation. There is no antidote for cats - although charcoal might help. Since I don't know how much he ingested and based on the symptoms you've described, the only advice I can give you is: TAKE YOUR CAT TO AN EMERGENCY CLINIC ***NOW** - *****RIGHT NOW***** - he is in *very* serious danger of acute renal failure. Please do not delay for an instant. Best hopes and wishes, Phil |

I don't know, but maybe most vets just wait for you to tell how much you are willing to spend. Then again, I have been surprised by how apparently unintelligent some doctors are. |
